Christie enjoys biggest Singapore Roadster deployment for New Years celebrations
Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: Nearly 60 Christie Roadster HD20K-J projectors were deployed by Hexagon Solution Pte Ltd to ring in the New Year at Singapore’s Marina Bay. With the occasion also marking the country’s 50th year of independence, a large eight-hour projection mapping show displayed a slew of images depicting the growth and development of the country over the years, projected onto the enormous façade of the Fullerton Hotel and the iconic Merlion Statue.
‘We are excited to present this projection mapping performance using the world famous Merlion statue and façade of the Fullerton Hotel as the canvas for this highly-anticipated event,’ said Adrian Goh, managing director, Hexogon Solution. ‘Due to the scale of this performance, it was necessary for us to set up almost 60 Christie Roadster projectors to cover the entire area.’
A total of 53 Roadster HD20K-J projectors were set up for the front of the hotel, with another six used to cover the statue. The displays were synchronised with each other and also worked hand-in-hand with the main Marina Bay countdown and firework show. The team experienced some difficulty with image distortion as a result of the multiple ‘depths’ of the building, as Mr Goh noted: ‘That was why we had to run simulations and tests to ensure that we can achieve the best possible results. I’m happy to note that through meticulous image adjustments and alignments, we have managed to deliver a vibrant and engaging show that made the "Celebrate SG50" a very memorable and enjoyable one for all Singaporeans. Of course, the reliability and quality of the Christie Roadster HD20K-J projectors also played a role in making this a success.’
‘Our heartiest congratulations to our partner Hexogon Solution for being selected as the projection provider of this momentous event and setting up the largest number of Christie Roadster Series projectors ever for an event held in Singapore,’ said Lin Yu, vice president of Christie Asia Pacific. ‘This is a wonderful achievement and we’re absolutely thrilled that Christie’s visual solutions have been used to deliver a fantastic performance for everyone who attended this large-scale event, and helped create high quality, innovative, shared experiences that our customers love.’
